Thursday, April 10, 1902. on. tWL-inc to the Exposition these days, and we trust that every man, woman and child in South Carolina can see the show before it closes. It is well t. . . worth a visit. D. C. Hey ward, of Walterboro, is making a hustling campaign for governor, although he is doing his canvassing in a quiet way. If he doesn't get elected he'll certainly scare some of the other candidates for the place mighty bad. ? We rather expected Charleston's "four hundred" to boycott the "society column" recently started in the Evening Post, of that city, by declining to give out information in regard to social functions, but ^the column does not lack for news, the elite seeming to take to it as naturally as as a duck to water. The price of cotton is still going up. New York brokers say the supply is about B " exhausted and that prices will go much higher. But will it hold up until next fall? It looks like a shrewd trick on the part of* speculators to induce farmers to increase their acreage. If they are wise they will not do so. Some newspapers are giving advice to the May State Convention, which is not needed or sought. That body is amply able to take care of itself, but we have no idea any sensations will be sprung or exHP citing scenes take place in the meeting. We expect the convention to be a quiet, hum-drum affair, and for everything to be - - calm and serene and as pleasant as a June < morning. From present indications human life is ^ ____gettihg t<r*Hc>c a little more valuable iu - South Carolina. Recently in different TMjr-tc r?f th#> State white men have been I found guilty and sentenced to a term of years in the penitentiary for the crime of - killing. If a few white men could be hung for murder, justice would be redeemed to some extent, and the life of a lawabiding citizen would be safer. The Rock Hill Journal is to be sued for damages,something unusual for a newspa. per in South Carolina. This enterprising paper published the fact that an old maid ; _ was engaged to be married, and it turned out not to be true, or rather she didn't get ? married, so she has entered suit against tko no nor frkP 000 We SU<T wuv *v* yvjwv o gest to our contemporary that if it can succeed in getting a husband for the lady, she may drop the suit. T Several towns in the State are agitating the question of establishing cotton mills. Our candid opinion is that there are enough cotton factories in South Carolina | for the present, but there is plenty of room for other manufacturing enterprises. 7 * * There is too great a tendency to cling to one line of enterprises in this State, and what we need is diversification. The field is broad, and there are many kinds of factories which could be established here tMXd pay good dividends. S It is said that Governor McSweeney will take steps to prevent the prize fight between Jeffries and Fitzsimmous, if the mill is attempted to be held in Charleston. P He could hardly do otherwise. It is further stated that all efforts to get the fight for that city will be abandoned, owing to the determined opposition of the governfe t or. However, we can see no more harm > '. in nullifying the law against prize fighti ; ing than the one against the illicit sale of whiskey, so why not let Charleston have her fun if she wants it. |t?y , It seems strange that the legislature should get matters so mixed up. Until last year the road or commutation tax was $1 .00; last year it was $2.00, and many paid this amount. The legislature at its t k recent session amended the road law, and the result is that the road tax has again 2- . been put at $1.00. This worked an injustice on many persons who paid the p $2.00, and yet in this eouuty a still greater number paid during the last month, when the amount was onlv $1.00. Those ^who paid $2.00 are a little sore over it, and with good reason. Taxes should be put on all alike. An Anonymous Communication. This paper does not usually publish anonymous communications, but we print the one below for reasons of our own, wbicb is set up exactly as written, capitals, punctuation, etc. However, the writer cannot be posted on the bar-room situation in Charleston, for he is badly off in advocating the repeal of the dispensary law. The illicit whiskey dealers in Charleston. we naturally tuppose, favor the law and want it to remain on the statute books, for under its operation they can do business at so much less expense and jf ' reap greater profits. As it is now they > pay no license to the city, do not have to keep an attractive and expensive saloon on the first floor, and are rid very largely of the bummers and loafers who hang around such places. The bars are now generally located up-stairs, where the rent is not so high, and there is not much money spent in making them attractive. No, no, our opinion is that Charleston wants the dispensary law, for they always vote for the dispensary candidate. Charlestons, c.

Editor Bamrkug Herald, My Dear sir:?It is with considerable hesitancy that I make reply to your second editorial regarding the school affairs of district No. 21, but ! feel that you have shifted us from a criminal role to that of a sin of general commission, a conclusion reached by you after a second glance over those rare statistics. If you were better acquainted with the demand of this district and the continued struggle we have gone through during the past seven years, with a closer and deeper sympathy for a progressive spirit iu the educational affairs of tins people, you could say with good discretion that we are morally right in our dispensations as well as legally triumphant in every effort. Indeed, it is poor policy to attempt to defend a point of character against one who will draw conclusions from erroneous premises. If you have not done this, you have made conclusions witnoui snowing me j?ieniises. Therefore, the fatal mistakes made by you. An unstained truth and integrity need no special defence. A man can not build up a character on false principles, much less can he build up a school by means of deception or trickery. The world demands today a higher tone of citizenship, and I am glad Denmark is accomplished in such;|and with equal pleasure I grant the same to your town. A hostile attitude of one community toward another has always brought forth sad results. It will not help Bamberg to ' look upon Denmark with jealous suspic-1 ion, or store up her motive power, fori the purpose of crushing a life, laudable in ; scope, that emanates from the applied efforts of her neighbors. I presume the Herald is representing the sentiment, of the Bamberg people, and if we should become cognizant of the fact that the writer of the previous editorial has been patted on the shoulder by any intelligent Bamberg citizens, giving approval and credit to his opinions, so unhesitatingly advanced by him, too?then the correspondence would appear to us as having a most serious interpretation, both as to the quality of Bamberg's citizenship and the true purpose of the editor. I prefer giving you the benetit^of the most plausible phase of your argument, which may be summed up in the statement that you have stamped us as being a most malicious people, knowing but little about us, and our management of public schools as stealthy roguery without having sufficient light to guide you safely. Both of your editorials made sweeping condemnations, supported by! quoted matter from the pages of the Educational report and from the pamphlet of information written by the colored principal, but none of these things effect the truth of the specific terms under which the school in question is run. The Industrial school during the past six years has been nothing more than a public school, which has been placed in the hands of this Tuskegee graduate, who accepted it under terms of contract, the trustees paying her $.'10 per month for five consecutive months. The two other colored schools are run four months each, at a salary of $20 per month, making a total expenditure for colored schools Tt coomc tint tlio in mini r^tinrf. to the State Supt. shows only $280. This is a mistake. These figures seem to perplex the Herald. It must he home in mind that this is entirely a local question concerning which my grieved friend evidently felt called upon to administer rehuke. Assuredly, this is as much his business as the management of the Herald is mine. Jumping, as he did, headlong into a nonpartisan affair, about which he had hut little knowledge, it is in harmony to see him impugning the character and moral judgment of our honest officials with seeming good grace. I have in my mind an incident which brings into active consideration the advisability of divulging an affair, which would shock some of your fellow-townsmen, yet it would be truth undefiled; but I refrain, because I will never allow black deeds of a few men to overshadow the pure manhood which they are supposed to represent. Then too, the conditions are so changed today from what they were then, I draw the conclusion that the power of honest men have buried these horrible realities along with their political dead, and the day of resurrect ion is not at all close at hand. Our trustees have done a faithful work for all schools. What the)- are today is the climax of a growth from almost noth ing. The white teachers have been poorly paid aud the colored teachers will have to share the same patience until our hoard can safely increase their pay, as they respectively deserve. We pay the Industrial school about twice as much as we pay either of the other colored schools. It deserves this, because twice the number of pupils are enrolled. Lizzie Wright, having accepted the school for the amount mentioned above, when she uuthoughtedly withheld the enrollment, a demand, her obligation of contract, was made plain to her and she met the issue with a sincere, honest compliance. She has always given our board a most respectful support and her abiding here has always carried with it a strong life, a fine character. Everything must have a beginning, and the beginning of the Industrial school was simply a change of names with the personal support of the Booker Washington graduate. She has used the enrollment of this school as the basis of her appeals to Northern friends. The public school has been the bud of her hrvrvoc the VnnvliPPC sehnol is the blossom and fruit of same. How grateful she ought to be to this District Board for the advantages accorded her. Taking the school as she did, we have never interfered with her plans. She has managed the school as she wished, giving it a name and choosing a board of trustees; but her doors were wide open to all, as per agreement, when the district trustees announced the opening of free term. Up to this time the school has been known as the Denmark Industrial school. The enrollment last term was 290 for the free term and the length of term was five months. The crysalis state of the Industrial school has been passed. The real Industrial school has been established, Voorhees, by name, i The enterprise is an accomplished thing, i a lasting credit to the untiring principal. The Voorhees Industrial school is about completed, a new school, and will hereafter have nothing to do with the public schools. The Voorhees school will take up its specific work, but the public school will still be under the management of its present principal, in an entirely separate building. Itrust theHerald can get ample light,from which he can readily deduce a complete exonoratiou in behalfofDenmark schools. We appreciate your candor and while you have pounded us hard with the liberty of your position, still we desire your good wishes. We want your friendship and we want Bamberg to feel that Denmark is her equal in tone of character and far beyond her in public school advantages. Our superiority is to your discredit. You could have a better school, if you would realize your duty to your children. If Denmark has been defiled by deeds of commission, Bamberg is heavy loaded down by tons of omission. Your pride, intellects and moral characters stand for more than the little caboose, you call your "graded school." Write long, brilliant editorials, advocating a $10,000 building and a sufficient levy to support a firstclass school. Bamberg must awake to her Imp vvliito i l< I 1 iii her slumbering lethargy ami long to see her manhood launch the enterprise from which will disseminate the divine gifts and powers of her brilliant youth. Mr. Calhoun and his corps of excellent assistants have never had the opportunity of giving to the public their largest capacity as teachers, and it is to their remarkable credit that they have done so wonderfully well. Every honest advantage has not been used. I can see myself where a wonderful growth could be insured. All in all, if Bamberg will do her duty to her white children, in the scale of pensions she will stand her own. Finally, Mr. Editor, your last editorial reminds me of a Beaufort county candidate for the Legislature. Do you want to go to the Legislature? If you do, come \ out on the right platform?-and old Den?uiark will not forget you. J. Arthur "Wiggins. 1 Denmark, S. C., April 8, 1902. ? [^r good friend says lie replies to us with n^(.h hesitancy, yevt.o hints at dark doings in the past, and seems i ,varm up \ \ \ and intimate that this community is envious of Denmark. In fact, his reply reminds us of what Arteinus Ward said a about his public lectures, viz: that there P was so much in the lecture that had absolutely nothing to do with it. We must t, protest against what seems to be the at- a tempt to becloud the issue. Let's stick to * the question. We have the consciousness I that our motives are pure in agitating I this matter, and to intimate otherwise C does not help your side of the case. What r the public want is facts, not argument, so ^ that they can decide who is right and who J is wrong, for there are always two sides to c every question. Kind friend, there is 1 nothing to get warm over in this matter. . There is absolutely no use?nor excuse? t for such epithets as "malicious," "stealthy 1 I liL-a tint tliooo ii-nrii unt ' applied by this editor, but by Mr. Wiggins himself to his own people, he putting such f a construction on our former editorials. But, with all due respect to his uuedr- c standing of the English language, we contend that our words do not admit of t any such construction. If he so construed s them, we most kindly assert that it was a strained construction. This newspaper has not impugned the characters and moral judgment of the worthy officials who conduct the school affairs of our sister J town, nor will we, and our words should ^ not be misinterpreted. Far be it from us j to be jealous of Denmark's success. In 1 truth, we glory in her progressiveness, * and, as our files will show, have held up her pride in the matter of free schools as a a worthy example to this community. 1 That we have freely used the columns of e s our paper to sustain his good work, we j are sure Mr. Wiggins will bear ample tes- c timony. As to the incident to which he * alludes which would shock some of our ^ ( townsmen, we know nothing, and, as we c have no earthly idea to what he alluhes, cannot say whether it is germane to this discussion. However, we think that, as ^ he did not divulge the nature of the inci- rdent, the bare mention had best been left j out of his communication. To come to } the real question at issue: Mr. Wiggins j does not attempt to explain or reply to the ) facts and figures cited by us, except in the j matter of salaries paid the negro teach- j ers. There the mistake is not our9, for 1 we took them from the official report, and i c VAI*TT oliirht Qnxra'Qr* Q LUC UUILILULL AO ? VIJ uuj ti uj . m total of only $30. The annual report of ^ the State Superintendent of Education i also gives the total negro population of 1 Denmark, of school age, (between six and f twenty-one years) as 225?100 boys and f 125 girls?yet it gives the total enrollment c of negroes in her schools as 568 ?2G5 boys < and 303 girls?an enrollment of 343 more j pupils than there is children. He is right j when he says these figures perplex us, for ( they do, and we cheerfully admit our inability to understand how an enrollment of 508 pupils can be returned when there are only 225 children of school age. If these j figures are wrong, who is to blame? The s report is official, and was the best source f of information open to us. We admit all t our friend says about the good work of * Lizzie Wright, and the only question at issue as to her school is: Is her enrollment of pupils, as returned to the school ( authorities, made up solely of children 1 residing m tire bounds or tne uenmara district? From the figures of the reports j we could not understand how they could be, and do not yet. Either her enrollment ( is not of purely local pupils or the figures are wrong. She says she takes boarders < and has them board in private families } out in town. If foreign pupils were re- j turned as a basis for distribution of public funds, clearly that was an injustice to every other school district, and we hardly think our friend would contend other- ] wise. Our idea in bringing out the ques- f tion was to correct if possible a seeming j injustice, for the Herald not only repre- J seuts the people of Bamberg town, but all * the people of Bamberg county, and let us j say right here that the best interests of any section of this county do not come 5 second with us. Let us assure our friend that there has not been any patting on the ! shoulder of us by any citizen of Bamberg, and in fact the only private discussion of this matter had with us at all was by the very courteous and pleasant chairman of your board, of trustees, witn wnom we < had a pleasant conversation a few weeks < ago. Don't try to bring in anything about 1 ill feeling between the towns, for there is no such thfng in Bamberg. In fact, the people of this town seem utterly indiffer- ^ ent about free school matters, and in this connection let us thank you for your se- j vere but true comments on our school situation. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend." "But thou canst not shake thy gory locks at me and say I did it." We have labored incessantly, in season and ' out of season, for better free schoolfacil- ' ities for Bamberg town: first, for a special ( levy-(where we linaliy succeeded in get- ] ling half a loaf), and now we are working for a better building, or rather for a building?the present affair is not worthy the r name. In conclusion, let us say that all j this discussion about incidental matters s does not settle the question. If the facts ' and figures quoted by us are correct, our position isoverwhelminglySustained. We have simply tried to do our duty as we { saw it, for we could not see the equity and i justice in the distribution of funds based \ on those figures. If other figures cau be brought forward showing the State Supt. to be in error, we will freely accord to district No. 21 all she contends for.?Ed. u 1.1 i 1ICI UlU. J Rig Railroad Deal. Nkw York, April 4.?Following a , meeting in this city today of the directors of the Plant System, W. G. Elliott, president of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and R. G. Erwin, president of the Savan- 1 n:ih, Florida and Western Railway company, authorized the following statement: s "Negotiations have been completed K under which it is recommended that the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway company will, on or before the 1st of July 1002, be consolidated with and become i the property of the Atlantic Coast Liue ( Railroad company. The negotiations al- t so contemplate that the other railway properties of the Plant System will pass under the control of the Atlantic Coast t Line at the same time. "It has been also agreed that when the consolidation takes place, the Southern 1 Railway company will have trackage ( rights thereafter for all of its trains, both passenger and freight, over the line be- j tween Savannah and Jacksonville, thus ( making Jacksonville the southern terminus of the Southern Railway company for its Florida service to and from east and west." ] The Savannah, Florida and Western railroad is the main line of the Plant System, covering about 1,700 miles out of a total of 2,200 miles. ?
